This year they have brought together an attractive group again: Almasi, Gashimov, Godena, Harikrishna, Korchnoi, Landa, Ni Hua, Marin, Navara and TiviakovThis report is about the first four rounds. Still anything can happen because Almasi, Landa, Gashimov and Harikrishna are sharing the lead with 2.5 points. At the moment of writing the fifth round can be followed here.[TABLE=89]
